Fed Up on 09/25/2011
I posted back in 2010. Thought we got rid of the bugs, but they're back again. Have done everything I can think of. Pest control, vacuuming, laying down diatomaceous earth, caulking the baseboards. This only seems to reduce their numbers for a while. I cannot afford to throw out my furniture, and I certainly won't buy any new furniture while I'm living here.
I'm only here until I've gotten my degree, and then I'm leaving this hell hole. And I'm going to toss all of my furniture and spray pain
t "BEDBUGS" on all of it in big black writing so that no-one thinks of taking it back into the building.
And to the landlord/employee of Main Square that wrote that BS about tenants being responsible for the infestations because they bring in old furniture? Please. If you would get THE WHOLE BUILDING treated instead of doing apartment by apartment as the bugs move through the building, we wouldn't be suffering in misery, and you wouldn't have such a high turn-over of tenants.
Good luck paying your bills, landlords. And about what the previous poster said about the elevators? It's true. You are slum lords. Just be glad (and I bet you are) that you don't have to live here.

if the tenants would stop picking up used furniture and bedding from the garbage bins and from known horders it wouldn't be so infested

cockroaches & bedbug infcetions on the 2nd floor, 265 Main St. I've been getting through this hell for several months, the exterminators only decreased the number of the bugs. I've had enough with this place, moving out soon.
When the exterminators came, I had to find some place to stay for 2 weeks while they're in the process but nothing really helped.
I'm leaving all my furnitures and my bed here, just can't wait until I move out of this hell.
Just don't come here.

I just moved in to an upper floor. Within 6 days of moving in, we had an infestation of cockroaches and bedbugs.
This place is Hell. Come at your own risk.

Do you mind if I ask which floor you're on? I live there too and am extremely concerned.

Main Square Apartments:
Infested with cockroaches and bedbugs. We had our apartment sprayed and fumigated on August 21, 2009. The exterminator advised us to dispose of our mattress, pillows, some blankets, a foam cushion and the actual bed box frame.
Management has responded that they will not reimburse us for any of our loses.
